The death toll in Louisiana has risen to 13, ABC News reports. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson will visit the state on Thursday to review the federal government’s response to what Governor John Bel Edwards called “unprecedented” flooding.

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said on Sunday that 7,000 people have been rescued due to widespread flooding in the state, according to the Associated Press. That number has risen from 1,000 rescued on Saturday.
